    I sacrifice C:\Windows\System32 to you, old noodly one! 🗑️ Bless me with the computing power to pwn my enemies in CS2, see them driven before me on Twitch, and hear the Lamentations of their simps.

      I’m an ordained minister in The Church of the FSM and I approve this liturgy. I should seriously ask Bobby if this can make it into official church doctrine.

    There will never be anything more illustrative of the limits of human intellect than the fact that a master logician famously argued that:

    I ought to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that rewards doing XYZ

    …and did not immediately think:

    I ought not to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that punishes doing XYZ

      As a theist, I agree. Pascal’s Wager is a terrible argument for God. It doesn’t even address the variety of religions that contradict Christianity with contradicting moral imperatives. It only works if the outcomes are “My Variant of Christian God Exists” or “No God Exists”.

      That’s why I’m working tirelessly to bring Roko’s Basilisk into being! 👍

    The popemobile has bulletproof glass. If the Goddamn POPE doesn’t believe, why should anyone else?

    “Cause! I’m not going to potentially spend my entire life following the specific rituals and sacrifices required of a religion. What if it doesn’t exist? Then I’ve wasted. My… Oh… Shit.”

    I’m usually worshipping Rigatoni instead, spaghetti are just too basic for me. Sometimes also Fusilli.

    I believe the pasta heaven is very much like the old Greek and Roman gods: more of a large family than just a single lonely individual.

    I want to believe that this is probably the actual Flying Spaghetti Monstert that made this post on Lemmy.

    Because it would be really funny.

    Because what if the lasagna monster is the real one and really hates people worshipping the spaghetti monster and subjects anyone who worships it to eternal damnation?

    Time…that I have to dedicate to stroking to imaginary sky god’s ego. Apologizing for my “transgressions” because apparently just admitting to and apologizing for them makes you no longer in trouble for them anymore…because that makes a lot of sense. It’s just real estate in my brain that could be better spent on other things.
